suggestion: slash commands

what do you think about adding another type?

+ weather *
/ weather <star>

these are slash commands the bot can run. basically similar to

<call>weather <star></call>

i’m actually using something similar to this in our setup but more like

^ /command param

which isn’t as nice to write.

I like the syntax of

+ trigger
@ redirect

with the syntax color hiliting it makes scripts quite clear to read.

yeh i usually get them to format like this:

+ weather
  - The weather in <get location> will be <get temperature>.
    ^ Expect <get condition> today.
    ^ And remember to smile more.

then its harder to screw up with the copypasta.

@dscan good suggestion on the / for commands.

FWIW, we trained our editors to use ^ to break on newlines using ! local concat = newline. Not as clean as smart indentions, but with some syntax highlighting in our editor, still easy enough for our editors to visually see what is happening.

! local concat = newline

+ weather
- The weather in <get location> will be <get temperature>.
^ Expect <get condition> today.
^ And remember to smile more.
